This was motivated by the desire to implement chunk-sequence-aware functions in Clojure elegantly. Currently, dealing with ArrayChunks in Clojure is clumsy because few of the functions dealing with collections will work with non-seqables. This functionality will mostly be used by implementers since end users shouldn't care if their sequence is chunked or not.
